The man who finagled nearly a decade ago the SpyGate video has gotten his hands on another interesting piece of visual evidence.

Jay Glazer of FOX has obtained video of the person who is suspected of entering the New England locker room after Super Bowl LI and stealing Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s jersey. It’s a man wearing a suit and a tie. FOX blurred his face for legal reasons.

The man can be seen moving among players and others in the bowels of NRG Stadium, with a backpack over his right shoulder. While narrating the video on Colin Cowherd’s show, Glazer said the man has something under his left arm while leaving the locker room.

According to the Associated Press, a former executive of Diario La Prensa is involved in the matter. An article posted at the newspaper’s website, based on my limited Spanish skills, identifies former director of the publication Mauricio Ortega as the alleged ladron, or thief.

I used to work for a PI that investigated insurance and pension fraud. I’d have to get into work sites and businesses pretty frequently. If you “wear the uniform” and walk in behind others like you belonged in the group and look slightly busy like you were looking for someone or in the conversation with the people in front of you, you can skip security and get into all kinds of things you’d be shocked you could get into. So to get into a team locker room locker room as a non-player/ coach you apparently should…. be white & professional, wear a decent but plain blue suit, a photcopied badge on a lanyard, a laptop bag. The homework is the badge and judging the entrances and timing. The more chaotic the venue, the easier the doors.

I love how people are whining about how the FBI got involved over a “missing jersey” case when in reality this guy is a major criminal who stole millions of dollars worth of NFL equipment and risked the security of pro athletes as he wasn’t even a legit member of the media. This is a major crime/inside job, people.

The takeaway from all of this is that the Pats spend tremendous amounts of money with covert video Surveilance of all opposing teams but they fail to patrol their own locker room. Hey Tom, where are your clothes?

Well yeah, every team spends a lot on filming opposing teams and its not even covert since its perfectly legal. Also Im not sure how you say they don’t have video monitoring in the locker room when we are all looking at a video from it.

Ask Goodell how a media member from mexico, official or otherwise, had credentials for access to the locker room BEFORE everyone else had access. Maybe to push an agenda to get a team in Mexico City? I mean how could a “media official” from there have that kind of access? And not just this time but others as well. FBI ought to investigate Roger. For this among other things………………………….
